It’s not ‘What do you doing?’
THE headline ‘The right questions’ for a Mind Our English article of May 11 has triggered our desire to bring forth a simple question, “What do you doing?”
This is often heard in dialogue in movies and even on Astro's educational Disney Channel, watched by many children including my four-year-old granddaughter who is beginning to use that question phrase.
Let it be known that the question is grammatically incorrect. It should be “What are you doing?” – Kengt, Penang
